As highlighted in our previous article about piggyback forklifts, two essential components enable our portable storage service: the piggyback forklift and the storage delivery truck. Since we’ve already covered the forklift, let’s dive into the Big Box Storage delivery trucks!
We operate two delivery trucks, both manufactured by International, though they are different models: the International 4300 and the International 4400. Each truck boasts approximately 350 horsepower, ensuring reliable performance for transporting storage containers.
Our trucks can transport up to five Big Box Storage containers in a single trip. This capacity reduces the need for frequent returns to our storage warehouse, streamlining daily deliveries. In contrast, smaller trucks carrying only 2-4 containers would require additional trips, slowing service.
One reason we chose International trucks is their size. Unlike larger tractor-trailer-style trucks used by some portable storage companies, our trucks can navigate narrow streets and tight spaces throughout San Diego. For example, they can easily access Mission Beach’s narrow alleys, providing true door-to-door service.
Our trucks come equipped with a mounting system for piggyback forklifts and run on diesel fuel for power and efficiency. Another standout feature is their relatively quiet operation compared to other models we evaluated. Minimizing noise is essential when delivering or picking up containers in residential neighborhoods.
By combining our International trucks with Z2-3 piggyback forklifts, we’ve created a reliable, efficient, and quiet portable storage delivery system. This powerful combination has allowed us to provide seamless storage services across San Diego for years.
